Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has officially announced the Chapter 3 of its online Sustainability School, which happens to be a free training program focused on empowering channel ecosystem partners to become leaders in sustainability.
For better understanding, Schneider’s Sustainability School first arrived on the scene in 2023 to offer interactive courses built atop the principle of helping organizations improve their sustainability performance. More on that would reveal how this three-part program will effectively address the growing need for accessible, actionable training on key sustainability topics.
As for already-available Chapters 1 and 2, they tend to cover the fundamentals of sustainability and the steps that companies can take to build and implement a comprehensive decarbonization strategy.
Talk about the Chapter 3, it is designed to teach businesses how to decarbonize, and at the same time, unlock the competitive benefits of sustainability through electrification and digitalization.
To understand the significance of such an effort, though, we must take into account one research, where it was revealed that failing to adapt to physical climate risks can very well trigger a loss up to 7% in companies’ annual earnings by 2035, making corporate climate action absolutely critical.
“I’m proud to launch the next chapter of our Sustainability School, a very important milestone that finally brings it all together,” said Sorouch Kheradmand, Head of Partner Sustainability at Schneider Electric.” In our ongoing commitment to empowering partners and customers on their sustainability journeys, this chapter will give them the insights and tool to practically enable sustainability in their organization and to their customers.”
A deeper analysis of Chapter 3 would reveal the way it will aid various different sectors.
These sectors include power and buildings. Here, companies can come expecting strategies for limiting embodied carbon; tools for measuring, monitoring, and reducing energy use, as well as emissions through automation. On top of it, they can also learn the incentives to leverage electrification of transportation; modernization of building systems and electrical infrastructure; along with deployment of onsite renewable energy.
The next sector in line would be of Information Technology, a sector which will get to bank upon digitalization to collect sustainability data and drive decarbonization through innovative technology solutions.
Another sector stand to benefit would be the Residential one, where the Chapter 3 will cut down on home carbon footprints with energy-efficient upgrades to enable prosumer capabilities and scale sustainability in multi-dwelling units (MDUs).
Rounding up highlights would be the Industrial Automation space, a sector which can establish sustainability foundations, implement variable speed drives (VSDs) and motor management platforms, and simultaneously design sustainability-oriented system architectures.
“As the world becomes more digital and electric, our partner ecosystem is uniquely positioned to address today’s energy challenges,” said Frederic Godemel, Executive Vice President of Energy Management at Schneider Electric. “Every business, regardless of size, has a vital role to play in the energy transition. We aim to help them turn sustainability into a competitive edge—combining environmental and economic sustainability to thrive in a fast-changing world.”
